Cheer up. According to John Hopkins, states have the right to mandate vaccinations if they feel that it's necessary. The legal precedent for mandatory vaccinations dates back to a 1905 Supreme Court case after a smallpox outbreak in Massachusetts. Will all states do this for Covid? Not likely. Some states may try it. However, if they do, it could get ugly.
Mainly because many people are already fed up with wearing masks, social distancing, lockdowns, and everything else associated with this. Absolutely, saving lives is of the utmost importance. But people being who they are can take just so much of the government placing a boot on their neck. And forcing them to do something they don't want to do is going to cause a lot of grief.
Nope, I will not get the vaccine, and I will not wear a face diaper. I will never take a vaccine that hasn't been proven and has a side effect of death. I'm also not a sheeple and I will not be controlled. I don't live my life for the government, especially a corrupt government like we have now.

Reports of death after COVID-19 vaccination are rare. More than 357 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines were administered in the United States from December 14, 2020, through August 16, 2021. During this time, VAERS received 6,789 reports of death (0.0019%) among people who received a COVID-19 vaccine. FDA requires healthcare providers to report any death after COVID-19 vaccination to VAERS, even if it’s unclear whether the vaccine was the cause. Reports of adverse events to VAERS following vaccination, including deaths, do not necessarily mean that a vaccine caused a health problem
Why would we vaccinate people under 17? Their risk of death is just as great from the vaccine as it is from the disease without even considering other known side effects? (.002%)
Risk of death for 18-49 is .05%, 50-64 is .06%....let people decide what they are willing to risk and in what way they are willing to take that risk. This is America we are supposed to value our freedom to choose our own medical decisions. Etc.
